I'm getting the newest version of slack, slack 10, and I want to set it
up as a central server, anyone have any idea's how to set it up for
remote access on my network, and how to access the hard drives on it to
retrieve files and such, with various versions of Windows?

sshd will help with that.

Putty is all you need for remote access and has a version of scp to move
files back and forth.

One of the most secure ways is to use ssh (secure shell). Slack has OpenSSH
server included and you can access it from various SSH Windows clients.
Putty is one client, but I prefer the free SSH Corp. client. Get it here:

http://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh/

......it's the:

SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.9.exe

....file. It includes SSH shell client and SSH ftp client.

Hello from the Eighth Doctor
I agree. <Waits for a drumroll.> I use the SSH client that you suggested, here.
When visiting my client, I use either that one, or PuTTY. The funny part about it, is
that the UI behind PuTTY seems to be lagging the rest of the world by about two
time period. Personally I prefer the SSH client.
